===NER with LLMs===
  
=== C. elegans GPT ===
+
* Wrote scripts and configured an LLM for Named Entity Recognition. Trained an LLM on gene names and diseases. Works well so far (F1 ~ 98%, Accuracy ~ 99.9%)
* Trained a small GPT model with C. elegans literature. Reporting some results.
 
  
=== Alliance Literature Migration ===
+
* Is this similar to the FlyBase system? Recording of presentation  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1S4kZidL7gvBH6SjF4IQujyReVVRf2cOK
* [https://agr-jira.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/SCRUM/boards/65/backlog?selectedIssue=SCRUM-3556 WB tools connect to xref endpoint]
 
** Requested Caltech curators to test on the [https://caltech-curation-dev.textpressolab.com/priv/cgi-bin/oa/ontology_annotator.cgi dev OA]
 
** Would it help to set up a separate meeting to discuss together?
 
  
==December 07, 2023==
+
* Textpresso server is kaput. Services need to be transferred onto Alliance servers.
  
=== Alliance Literature Migration ===
+
* There are features on Textpresso, such as link to PDF, that are desirable to curators but should be blocked from public access.
==== OA Paper Ontology switching to ABC ====
 
* Can we switch OA autocomplete / TermInfo / Validation to WBPapers in ABC ?
 
* Do we need to extract additional data from elsewhere. Or are there timing issues ?

=== Next citace upload ===
+
* Alliance curation status form development needs use cases. ref https://wiki.wormbase.org/index.php/WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls#February_15.2C_2024
* This will be our first upload completely using the dockerized system.
 
* Tuesday, January 9th, for Caltech citace upload

=== Literature Migration to the Alliance ABC ===
 +
==== Use Cases for Searches and Validation in the ABC (or, what are your common actions in the curation status form)? ====
 +
===== Find papers with a high confidence NN classification for a given topic that have also been flagged positive by an author in a community curation pipeline and that haven’t been curated yet for that topic =====
 +
*Facet for topic
 +
*Facet for automatic assertion
 +
**neural network method
 +
*Facet for confidence level
 +
**High
 +
*Facet for manual assertion
 +
**author assertion
 +
***ACKnowledge method
 +
**professional biocurator assertion
 +
***curation tools method - NULL
  
=== WormBase Literature System Migration to Alliance ===
+
===== Manually validate paper - topic flags without curating =====
* Almost done with work for topic migration
+
*Facet for topic
** Review ABC topic/entity table
+
*Facet for manual assertion
** Question about migration of OA 'curated' flag
+
**professional biocurator assertion
*** Who/When curation was done in the OA is not stored in the curation status form
+
***ABC - no data
*** Do we need it?  What do we want going forward when curation is performed at the Alliance?
 
* Objects curated and objects curated/paper fields in the curation status form
 
** This raises the question of, at the Alliance, what information should be gathered from curation tools vs the ABC?
 
* Workflows and expectations for updating curated status for paper - data type
 
** Instantaneous? Daily?
 
  
=== TAGC ===
+
===== View all topic and entity flags for a given paper and validate, if needed =====
* GSA membership renewal
+
* Search ABC with paper identifier
* Meeting registration
+
* Migrate to Topic and Entity Editor
* Accommodations
+
* View all associated data
 +
* Manually validate flags, if needed
  
 +
=== PDF Storage ===
 +
* At the Alliance PDFs will be stored in Amazon s3
 +
* We are not planning to formally store back-up copies elsewhere
 +
* Is this okay with everyone?
  
=== Helpdesk ===
+
==February 8, 2024==
 
 
please check recent tickets: #9379 and #9378
 
 
 
FYI Stavros is on holiday until 4th of January. Please respond to the tickets that usually be responded by me. Thanks a million!
 
 
 
Merry Christmas Everyone!
 
 
 
==November 9, 2023==
 
 
* TAGC
 
* TAGC
** Who is attending - who is organizing what booth?
+
** Prominent announcement on the Alliance home page?
** Can use passes, Exhibitors have
 
*** One full conference registration
 
*** Two exhibit hall-only registrations (additional booth personnel $50 each)
 
*** One guest pass
 
** Announce on Alliance Forum?
 
*** Who to ask - David Shaw?
 
 
 
* Literature system migration to Alliance
 
** PDFs are now housed at the Alliance - any difficulties accessing?
 
***Ranjana-Mostly works well for me whenever I've tried but haven't fully incorporated into my workflow
 
***When will we be able to open a PDF (from the link) in the browser window which is really convenient instead of having to download it all the time? Did check my chrome browser settings and it is set to "Open PDFs in Chrome", so do I have to do something else or does something have to be done on the ABC side for the PDF to open in a browser window?
 
** We are working on the UI for entity and topic addition
 
*** For entities that are not yet housed in the A team store, we will need to validate against WB
 
*** For new entities that are housed in the A team store, how will creating new ids work?
 
** Textpresso for C. elegans
 
*** When to switch over to the Alliance instance?
 
 
 
* Travel reimbursements status
 
** Glasgow meeting
 
** Other meetings
 
 
 
* WS292 upload
 
** Before or after the holidays?
 
 
 
==November 2, 2023==
 
* Expression Dataset Locator with scRNASeq datasets needs to show which version of WS the datasets are mapped to. A new column showing WS numbers will be good.
 
** Alliance has no manpower to remap the scRNASeq from raw data.
 
* Church B167 will be taken back by BBE.
 
 
 
==October 12, 2023==
 
=== Accessing FMS files at the Alliance ===
 
* FMS Swagger page: https://fms.alliancegenome.org/swagger-ui/index.html
 
** Do not need credentials/authentication to run GET/read endpoints
 
** Can use the Data File endpoints, provide data type name, like "HTPDATASET"
 
** Can always see a list of all data types here: https://fms.alliancegenome.org/api/datatype/all
 
** Can always see a list of all data subtypes here: https://fms.alliancegenome.org/api/datasubtype/all
 
* A-Team curation FMS page: https://curation.alliancegenome.org/#/fmspage
 
** Make sure to update Release Version (e.g. 6.0.0 or 7.0.0)
 
** Can filter "Data Type" column for data type of interest like "HTPDATASET"
 
** Can see MD5 Sum of each file, download, etc.
 
 
 
==September 28th, 2023==
 
 
 
===Switching over to the new textpresso-labs cloud system===
 
* Juancarlos will flip the switch to the new dockerized system on Friday, Sep 29th
 
 
 
=== Research Integrity Course ===
 
* I (Chris G) still haven't completed this; is there a hard deadline?
 
 
 
==September 14th, 2023==
 
 
 
===Switching over to the new textpresso-labs cloud system===
 
 
 
====For the next upload instructions-September 26th====
 
*All the curators will dump their files on the old Tazendra system.
 
*They will then copy the files to the dockerized system - acedb@caltech-curation.textpressolab.com <br/>
 
**scp: scp -P 2022 <file> acedb@caltech-curation.textpressolab.com:/path/to/file/(-p is to specify port with ssh, -P is to specify port with scp.  see below for rsync)
 
**/usr/caltech_curation_files/Data_for_citace/Data_from_<insertcuratorname>/
 
**/usr/caltech_curation_files/Data_for_CitaceMinus/
 
**/usr/caltech_curation_files/Data_for_Ontology/
 
 
 
*Wen does the build on that.
 
*You must test your ace files on the CitaceMinus mirror. 
 
 
 
*Switch to the dockerized system right after the upload - on September 29th.
 
 
 
== September 7th, 2023 ==
 
 
 
=== Paper Issue ===
 
* WBPaper00062523 republished as WBPaper00063966 (Daniel)
 
** WBPaper00062523 is a biorxiv paper entered about a month before the reviewed publication came in
 
** There's no data attached to the biorxiv paper that I can see, so is it okay to make it invalid?
 
** Confirm that we're not bringing in preprints from biorxiv (this is also what the Alliance lit group agreed) - do we need to re-visit this decision?
 
* WBPaper00062523 made invalid in postgres (not merged into WBPaper00063966 since these are separate publications)
 
 
 
=== citace upload ===
 
* Status update for test file generation and upload
 
* Confirm:
 
** Where to deposit the .ace file
 
** How will the files get there?
 
** Review file archive/backup policy - where and for how long?
 
* Dumping script updates SOP
 
** Modify script in github
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
== August 31st, 2023 ==
 
=== Alliance Migration: Review flagged data types ===
 
* Discuss future of the different data types and flagging methods in context of transferring data to the Alliance infrastructure
 
* Initially thought we were planning to transfer everything we have currently at Caltech
 
* But are there data types that we don't need to transfer, and if so, what are the implications for:
 
** Alliance data storage - any limitations?
 
** Storing and accessing existing Caltech legacy data
 
** If we don't transfer legacy data, but a flagging pipeline still runs, do we stop the flagging pipeline? Keep the flagging pipeline but don't transfer any new data to the Alliance?
 
 
 
* I can make a table like the one below for all the data types, if this would be helpful. (Kimberly)

=== Next citace upload using dockerized tazendra 2-Oct-2023 ===
 
* Documentation for SOP
 
* Decided at meeting that we'll do the transfer on Sept 14 after discussing at the meeting.
 
* Everyone please test your usual curation to make sure everything works before we switch over, or we'll switch over and your stuff won't work until we fix it.

== August 3rd, 2023 ==
 
=== Caltech ===
 
* Reminder to do research integrity training
 
* Not everyone at WormBase got the email - Paul S. can double-check if this was based on job titles or something else
 
 
 
=== Genetics Database Update Paper ===
 
* Is there enough material for a WB update?
 
** Explanation of transition to the Alliance
 
*** Start by creating a table of data types in WB vs Alliance
 
** New WB data, e.g. single cell data
 
* If so, who's turn is it to write it?
 
 
 
== July 20th, 2023 ==
 
=== Remaining debrief from IWM ===
 
* PIs wanting to undergraduates to do more in terms of curation and training
 
** check into training support with NSF community outreach grants
 
=== Motivating the community ===
 
** Chris's trophys a huge hit - people wanted pictures and were motivated
 
** $250 uPub voucher useful
 
** Paul's sense of swag is off, staff have great ideas
 
** WB blog supports images - can post pictures of trophy winners
 
 
 
== Place for teaching material ==
 
want to have a public location to for people to access webinars and slides etc. ex. XenBase<br>
 
Paul suggests we use an Alliance Forum to post these, will also motivate alliance members to do the same><br>
 
Chris suggests the Alliance User Forum<br>
 
Todd suggests Google drive is good, but many problems with things getting muddled, e.g, by inconsistent naming = things get lost and hard to find<br>
 
If we use google drive, need to have some management<br>
 
Do we want a place for the community to share things with the community<br>
 
Alliance User Support Group should be tapped for help here, and we can reach out to GSA to see what they do to organize community teaching docs. <br>
 
Raymond - CMS system is designed for this, but we would need to set that up == Wen is interested<br>
 
Todd- need to identify what type of material would we be putting up. Slide shows? - maybe use a ready built CMS that is good with side-shows, will also need to have maintenance over time. <br>
 
Maybe the lowest hanging fruit is just Maintaining an Index page for these, then it doesn't matter where the material really exits<br>
 
Start with generic index page at Alliance, with brief metadata - can we store it in CaltechData = Karen and Wen will talk to the library
 
 
 
== Making Web pages for uPub papers ==
 
Immediate problem - make a splash page for paper not found at WB.
 
something more general - ask Alliance for splash page <br>
 
gene paper links is going to be more complicated
 
 
 
== WormBook and GSA ==
 
Genetics thinking that WormBook is not that active, but possibly they are missing out on activity since community uses WormBook.org as index to find articles. <br>
 
Dainel has been adding Genetics WormBook chapters to WormBook.org, so they should be available there and findable.
 
 
 
== Connectome ==
 
Raymond fixed the link-outs to these sites, not updated on the site yet<br>
 
Todd- hotfix will be run that should fix all of that
 
 
 
== Release announcements ==
 
Not automated, Caltech needs to synchronize things, Raymond and Wen will be added to Slack release channel.

=== Update/Discussion on WormBase -> Alliance paper pipeline migration ===
 
* [https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1dUt5PwBMBYf-x0ugzbJgMcsFWF-SvPU0bcYTo9YKI4s Alliance data model] for entity/topic tagging
 
* [https://alpha-curation.alliancegenome.org/#/ontology/atp Alliance Tags for Papers Ontology]
 
* [https://github.com/evidenceontology/evidenceontology/issues ECO requests]
 
* Bibliographic data - Alliance will be the source of truth for all references in PubMed (except legacy author data); WB will be the source of truth for all other paper, e.g. meeting abstracts
 
* Entity tags
 
** Species
 
*** Modeling evidence
 
**** 'Manually_connected' plus 'Curator_confirmed' - Alliance doesn't yet have people, so we will store 'WBPerson' in a created_by field
 
**** 'Inferred_automatically' text string (from ACKnowledge pipeline)
 
**** No explicit evidence in postgres, but notes on what we did, e.g. scripts and string matching
 
** Genes
 
*** Modeling evidence
 
* Topic tags
 
** Will port over the WB topic and map to an ATP ontology term
 
** Will not populate species (we don't know this definitively at WB)
 
** Each flagging 'method' will be a unique combination of: source, source details, MOD, and creator
 
*** For example, author, ACKnowledge, WB, WBPerson625
 
*** For example, author, Fast Track Your Paper, FB, Norbert Perrimon
 
** Some data types, e.g. antibody, are modeled as topics and entities; we will only populate topic unless we also have a specific curie to populate an entity value
 
*** New topic tags: antibody data
 
** Existing validation will come from manual curator entries in curation status form and from OA values and from author ACKnowledge submissions
 
*** Each validation is tracked separately; no manual validation will overwrite any other manual validation
 
*** Manual entries will validate AI entries (more specific entries can validate less specific entries)
 
** Modeling and porting over curation status pre-canned comments
 
*** SVM positive, curation negative
 
**** Validated right by curator, but not curatable for WB (will be a new workflow ATP tag)
 
**** WB may not have always been consistent here, so we may want to think about clean up after migration
 
*** C. elegans as heterologous expression system
 
*** GO curation (will not port over; we can get this information from a GAF, if need be)
 
*** BioGrid and BioGrid/GO - keep?
 
*** Curation negative, no strain name given in paper
 
*** Toxicology - create an ATP value?
 
*** Host-pathogen virulence - create an ATP value?
 
 
 
== July 6th, 2023 ==
 
 
 
== June 8th, 2023 ==
 
*Update on WormBase -> Alliance paper pipeline migration
 
** Newly added WB papers for retraction notices and corrections
 
 
 
== June 1st, 2023 ==
 
*Raymond: We need to prepare some slides to introduce our tools at IWM. It would be better to drop them to the google doc folder for IWM.
 
*From Tazendra to Amazon Cloud server: Valerio finished the backup setting and now restoring data on the cloud server. Now testing Wen's script and the full build will be tested after IWM
 
*Textpresso will be modified and prepared for ABC in Alliance. This will be discussed again after IWM.
 
 
 
== May 25th, 2023 ==
 
* Waterston data
 
**Noticed that Bob's list had 69 dead genes and that the graphs were displayed on the dead gene page
 
 
 
<pre>e.g. WBGene00009022
 
https://wormbase.org/species/c_elegans/gene/WBGene00009022#0g1--10 </pre>
 
 
 
**Asked Paulo to map the dead genes to the live ones and display on the live gene page.
 
**While doing this Paulo noticed that 55 genes had values for both dead and live genes, and the values are quite different.
 
 
 
<pre>https://wormbase.org/species/c_elegans/gene/WBGene00007084#0g1--10</pre>
 
 
 
**Notify Bob, can ditch dead genes
 
 
 
==May 11th, 2023==
 
* Waterston data update
 
** Generated a file with the correct mappings
 
** Renamed Canopus the image files on Canopus
 
** Generated a -D file for Citace Minus
 
*** Send the .ace file to stavros
 
*** Contact Paulo and Todd
 
** Tested on spica, all good
 
** Patch the file for WS289. What needs to be done?
 
* Next upload
 
** Falls right after the IWM and around the 4th of July holiday
 
** Do we want to do a trial upload with our new system beforehand?
 
** We will upload the files on spica as we normally do but will also test the new system as much as we can
 
** Will do upload on July 11th
 
 
 
*IWM
 
** Finalize swag
 
*** Generic WB swag pens and frisbee (agreed blue with white logo): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1v8bCoL2Qy9hNQmJ57YOccg8HkmKXclulugfnYwGU7lM/edit
 
*** Community curation swag: https://www.crownawards.com/search?q=FIRDBW&lang=default
 
**** Trophies with custom logos: https://www.crownawards.com/Custom_Logo_Trophies?q=FIRDBW
 
** Booth
 
*** Ordered 2 chairs, a long desk, 1 electric outlet. Sarah D, Stavros will bring additional chairs
 
*** Carpeting. ok without
 
* Backup for new dockerized system
 
** Restic software -command line program that provides encrypted backup. Files compressed and store by md5sum
 
** want to avoid the encryption if we can
 
** Can include folders
 
** symlinks to the scripts -> will back up the links but not the files, which will be backed up with git
 
** Include/exclude list for files and folders
 
** Documentation will be provided in a readme file in github
 
** Backup files can be stored in aws S3
 
 
 
* Person wormbase_comments in acedb vs internal comments in postgres, but neither on WBPerson pages on website.
 
** No one recalls why they're in acedb, email sent to wormbase@caltech with questions for Cecilia.  There are ~14k wormbase_comments
 
 
 
==May 4th, 2023==
 
* Bug with molecule OA
 
** JSON parse failed error -> fixed
 
** Juancarlos will look into this
 
* Alliance postgres migration
 
** Chris started working on this
 
 
 
==April 27th, 2023==
 
* 445 image files provided by Bob Waterston contain the wrong WBGene name, e.g. egl-1_WBGene00001186_embryo_lineage.jpg (egl-1 is WBGene00001170)
 
* noticed while doing spot check in discussing Eyleen J. O'Rourke data
 
* Paulo programmatically went through the files, the graphs are unaffected, the images are.
 
* Option 1: ask Juancarlos to rename the wrong image files, based on gene public name. Prepare a -D file for CitaceMinus and re-upload a .ace file for the wrong objects.
 
* Option 2: ask Bob to send again the original files with the right name.
 
* Regardless, notify Bob

#[[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aJ-TOd2xIxNV2VZG5T57brz3T82MMcgbyXWohVH27NU/edit?usp=sharing|Postgres migration to the cloud]]
 
##The generic.cgi, we need to know who uses these:
 
###tempVariationObo: this brings in variations into the OA that are in WB but not in the OA. Note this is a different functionality compared to the Name server. We need this. Used by Ranjana, ??
 
#### CG: Yes, I need this
 
###UpdateVariationObo--can't get to this now on Tazendra
 
###AddToVariationObo--can't get to this now on Tazendra
 
###TempStrainObo --brings in strains into the OA that are in WB, seems to be the counterpart of the tempVariationObo for strains
 
####  CG: I need this
 
###AddTempObjectObo--used to add data to the database, used by AddToVariationObo and AddToStrainObo
 
###PapIdToWBPaper
 
#### CG: I need this
 
###  When people added things by mistake they would sometimes remove them from the flatfile, does anyone still do that ? -- Chris and Ranjana don't, Karen or Daniela might
 
###  Does the public need access to this, or should we move this to a private / protected URL ? -- Nick/micropub probably needs this
 
##WSVariation and nightly geneace variation file
 
###Overlapping but WSVariation has a lot more variation-related info, e.g. phenotype and phenotype_not_observed
 
###Confirming that we still need both
 
##There's also WpaXref and WpaXrefBackwards and ListPmids and ConvertPaperIdentifiers
 
##The only thing is that it writes to flatfiles so when cronjobs update variation/strains from nameserver or WS, it also loads from the flat files.  The location of the flatfiles isn't final yet, but it's dockerized.  People used to manually edit that when they wanted to remove them from the list, do people still want to manually edit those flatfiles ?
 
##ContinentPIs
 
##Valerio has set up ssh access into textpressolab.com
 
##There's 3 cases for using acedb: 
 
###your local use for testing stuff
 
###spica replacement for Wen
 
###extract things automatically for tazendra/postgres.  Do we need this ?

== Alliance issues ==
 
* monitoring API usage?
 
** We have Google Analytics but since Patrick Kalita left, no one has been monitoring it
 
** Paul: we need for now a simple way of tracking number of users. Chris: seems reinventing the wheel to write something from scratch. tracking API calls would be useful for our funders.
 
** Olin said you can track UI events (e.g. page clicks) and API access (including programmatic access) but we are not currently. Chris will see how much work is involved in this. We need someone with Google Analytics experience.
 
** Would be good to put a call out to all people at Alliance asking who has experience with Google Analytics.
 
* Simplemine: reverse proxy hosted at alliancegenome.org. If it is dockerized we can do it, otherwise not. Eventually dockerize Simplemine and move it to Alliance servers.
 
** Olin concerned about security over CGI technology.
 
** We will talk about this (implementation and security concerns) at the developer call
 
* Embedding alliance tools or processes into MODs.
 
** The API is there but is not in all MOD interest to write code to pull the data out.
 
** iFrame is not very flexible on how you display data (e.g. narrow, little flexibility in configuration).
 
** Could set up widgets as we did for the GO ribbon. Still requires MOD implementation of code base.
 
** Paul: eventually MOD sites will be retired. Chris: One concern from Christian (ZFIN): clicking on a zebrafish gene name will open up an alliance page, could it link to ZFIN gene page or provide users with an option?
 
** Maybe opening up an Alliance widget at the MOD preferably happens in a separate window (e.g. pop-up window, new browser window/tab; as opposed to in the same page/tab).
 
 
 
== Alliance All Hands ==
 
* Not all the curators are going to be there. Focus on PI discussion and development teams?
 
 
 
= January 5th, 2023 =
 
 
 
*Chris will help to create a reverse proxy for the Alliance SimpleMine. It will function like WormBase SimpleMine. People will need to visit the Alliance before going to tazendra. It will prevent users from seeing the tazendra URL and create more traffic for the Alliance
 
*Alliance SimpleMine with XenBase data is ready but needs XenBase feedback before it goes public. It is based on Alliance 5.4.0 release, so it can be released when Alliance 5.4.0 goes public in late Jan or mid-Feb. 
 
*Karen will visit Pasadena 1/13-15
 
 
 
= December 8th, 2022 =
 
== Data Type Flagging Pipelines and Alliance Infrastructure ==
 
*We currently run the neural network algorithms at Caltech
 
*What will we need to do to transition this to run on Alliance infrastructure?
 
*Can we start to run the neural networks on a more frequent basis, e.g. monthly? Could that be automated?
 
 
 
== WB PDF Migration ==
 
* Daniel, Juancarlos, Kimberly continue some clean up of redundant files before moving things over to the Alliance
 
 
 
= November 17th, 2022 =
 
*TEC_RED meeting. Meeting with Nikita Jahveri, Wouter Van de Berg (Gupta's lab). Participants, Valerio, Daniela, Kimberly, Magda, Stavros.
 
identified a large number of operons in C Briggsae. Baghwathi Gupta's lab. 4200 Briggsae genes identified with SL influencers. Want to contribute the information in WormBase.
 
* Used WS279 for the annotations
 
* they have excel  documents with the location in the supplementary files
 
* Magda: are the tag sequences unique? Nikita: yes. If they bind to 2 ore more genes that have classified as paralogs
 
* Also  identified isoforms (multiple transcripts tab in the spreadsheet)
 
 
 
** Steps forward: need to update the gene models and the operon models on WormBase.
 
* Can bring in data in different tracks.
 
* Need to update gene models based on this new evidence
 
* Nikita will send the data to Magda and Stavros (3 spreadsheets). Need to write out the categories.
 
* they did not produce  the GFF file, all in excel sheets.
 
* Material used: mixed stage worm population
 
 
 
they have excel  documents with the location

== Persons ==
 
* Are there more use cases to collect?
 
* Some existing use cases:
 
** ACKnowledge attribution
 
** Community phenotype curators
 
** When do people need person IDs? When accessing/using some forms
 
* Content of earlier email
 
** When someone asks for a CGC Lab code, they must have a WBPerson ID.  To fill out some tazendra forms, I think they need a WBPerson ID.  To connect Persons to Laboratories for their WB lab page.  To track who is a PI for which Lab.  To connect to other Persons for Intellectual Lineage.  Connect authors to Persons so Papers have a list of authors in publication order, each author linked to the Person (ZFIN has two lists, sorted for authors, separate for persons).  Our users tell us they use the WB Person page for their cv.
 
** Use of Person Contact information: I think our use case for person information is mostly to have current emails for community outreach (ACKnowledge, community phenotype forms).  It's been used in the past to send letters to PIs, so we could prioritize maintaining more information just for PIs.  Some analysis is sometimes done by region / country, but this is rare.  If anyone can think of other use cases for person data, please let us know. While we mostly only use the email addresses, Cecilia uses address / webpage / ORCID to connect authors to Persons, so having that data is important to make more connections.
 
* Knowing address and affiliation can help disambiguate similarly named persons/authors
 
* Questions about ethics of tracking information and person lineage?
 
** Not really a new issue; people present CVs on grants and other contexts
 
** Can be problematic to display people's email address and physical address, from a security perspective
 
** Email addresses: if someone has a strain/reagent not in a repository, can be helpful to connect to access materials
 
** We and others provide email addresses in publications
 
** We don't currently ask for permission to display the information (email, address, etc.); maybe we should?
 
** Should we have a survey to ask users' opinions about displaying this information? Is it worthwhile? Concerning?
 
** Should we provide a waiver that people agree their information will be in the public domain?
 
** Person form disclaimer: "Note: Phone and fax information won't show in your Person report for privacy reasons, but we are collecting the information in case we need to contact you. We keep old email, old institution, and old registered_lab data for history, please don't remove it when updating your information."
 
** Person form is available to public and displays personal information, e.g.: http://tazendra.caltech.edu/~azurebrd/cgi-bin/forms/person.cgi?action=Display&number=WBPerson51134
 
*** Could someone scrape this information? Yes, person information is available from WB database dumps
 
** Could institute a login; we had wanted to keep the barrier to participate low
 
** Have 3 forms of privacy, where people can opt out of emails, hide their email address, or hide more information.  If hidden it stays in Caltech postgres, and doesn't go to acedb.
 
* Going forward, the Alliance can implement better security for person information

* remanei (4 genome versions) and briggsae (3 genome versions) problem -> several versions of the genome. Same problem in parasite. Will need to address in the future. Want to have multiple sequence alignments so researchers can compare different versions.

* Does A-team need to connect those WB Persons to be able to populate data in the Alliance curation db ? 
 
** If so, can it wait until we have proper persons ? 
 
** If not, when we have persons later will the data be reconnected to Person objects ?
 
* Where does data come from, which we call Person_evidence ?  Some forms ?  Direct emails ?  Other sources ? 
 
* For author curation/verification, what evidence do we want to use?
 
* Can we create Paper objects for the actual emails or other forms of communication (figure out details of when and what requirements), but keep Person_evidence for form submissions ?
 
* How much will it muddy things to create Paper objects for emails, e.g. how will it affect NLP downstream, do we need PDFs ?
 
* If we create personal communication References at Alliance only do we also want them as WBPapers, or will we just keep ?Person evidence at WB?
 
* Are we okay with conflating Person data and Paper data in Reference at the Alliance.  That is, duplicating the same data as a Person and as a Reference.

* The paper conducts an analysis of natural variations within 48 wild isolates. To enhance the reliability of the variant set, I utilized the latest variant calling methods along with a custom filtering approach. The resulting dataset comprises 1,957,683 unique variants identified using Clair3. Additionally, Sniffles2 was used to identify indels of >30 bp, which numbered in the thousands to tens of thousands for most wild isolates. It is worth noting that variants identified with Sniffles2 have less reliable nucleotide positions in the genome.

NER with LLMs

  • Wrote scripts and configured an LLM for Named Entity Recognition. Trained an LLM on gene names and diseases. Works well so far (F1 ~ 98%, Accuracy ~ 99.9%)
  • Textpresso server is kaput. Services need to be transferred onto Alliance servers.
  • There are features on Textpresso, such as link to PDF, that are desirable to curators but should be blocked from public access.

Literature Migration to the Alliance ABC

Use Cases for Searches and Validation in the ABC (or, what are your common actions in the curation status form)?

Find papers with a high confidence NN classification for a given topic that have also been flagged positive by an author in a community curation pipeline and that haven’t been curated yet for that topic
  • Facet for topic
  • Facet for automatic assertion
    • neural network method
  • Facet for confidence level
    • High
  • Facet for manual assertion
    • author assertion
      • ACKnowledge method
    • professional biocurator assertion
      • curation tools method - NULL
Manually validate paper - topic flags without curating
  • Facet for topic
  • Facet for manual assertion
    • professional biocurator assertion
      • ABC - no data
View all topic and entity flags for a given paper and validate, if needed
  • Search ABC with paper identifier
  • Migrate to Topic and Entity Editor
  • View all associated data
  • Manually validate flags, if needed

PDF Storage

  • At the Alliance PDFs will be stored in Amazon s3

  • Is this okay with everyone?

February 8, 2024

  • TAGC
    • Prominent announcement on the Alliance home page?
  • Fixed login on dockerized system (dev). Can everybody test their forms?

February 1, 2024

  • Paul will ask Natalia to take care of pending reimbursements
  • Dockerized system slow pages (OA and FPKMMine). Will monitor these pages in the future. Will look for timeouts in the nginx logs.

Update on NN Classification via the Alliance

  • Use of primary/not primary/not designated flag to filter papers
  • Secondary filter on papers with at least C. elegans as species
  • Finalize sources (i.e. evidence) for entity and topic tags on papers
  • Next NN clasification scheduled for ~March
  • We decided to process all papers (even non-elegans species) and have filters on species after processing.
  • NNC html pages will show NNC values together with species.

  • Wen reached to Stavros and Chris to investigate WormBase and AGR angles.
  • Stavros escalates the issue on Hinxton Standup.
  • Mark checks Build scripts and WS291 results. After that, he contacted UniProt and he's working with them to figure this out.
